Anne Arundel County Animal Control will be holding an animal adoption this week!

Officials say the adoption will begin on Tuesday and will go through Saturday. All cats in Animal Control that are 10 pounds or more can be adopted for just $10.00.

Due to the large amount of adoptable cats and kittens
available for adoption at the shelter, Anne Arundel County Chief of Police
Kevin Davis has given his approval for a special adoption promotion event at
Anne Arundel County Animal Control.

The Chief of Police was given the authority to approve
special adoption promotions in September of 2012 after the county council voted
in favor of bill 72-12 proposed by Animal Control Administrator Robin Small.
County Code Article 12 Title 4 Section 912(e) authorizes the Chief or his
Designee to waive some or all adoption fees for a designated period of time.

This will be the second time the shelter has utilized this
promotional opportunity, officials say.

The shelter has also had several adoption promotions
made possible by an anonymous donor since the passage of this bill last year.

Chief Davis and officials in Animal Control say are hopeful that theô10 for
$10.00ö adoption event will help the adult cats that are often overlooked by
potential adopters find forever homes while simultaneously opening cages for
the steady influx of cats kittens during the summer months.
